Book cover for The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
“The thing is, being a witch is extraordinary,” she said. “It might seem sometimes that all we are is odd and different, but the truth is, we’re amazing. We’re part of the earth below us and the sky above us. Our veins echo the patterns of ...more

“the most common approach to curriculum design is to address the needs of the so-called “average student.” Of course this average student is a myth, a statistical artifact not corresponding to any actual individual.

“It turns out that knitting isn't about the yarn or the softness or needing a hat (although we really can't argue with these secondary motivators). It's really about this: Knitting is a magic trick.

Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of Freedom: Ethics, Democracy, and Civic Courage

The starer, in contrast, is an undisciplined spectator arrested in an earlier developmental stage or one resistant to the attentiveness of the modern networker. The starer is a properly attentive spectator befuddled, halted in mid-glance, mobility throttled, processing checked, network run amuck...So the challenge of proper looking is converting the impulse to stare into attention, which is socially acceptable. (21-22)”
